Three days in a row we tried something.
My first try was this amazing looking fortune cookie.
The limited seating is all filled up so I take our dessert to a slot machine with a tray to enjoy. It’s softer than it looks. My husband takes a bite and says, “YUK.”……… Well it’s not a yuk ……but it is different from what I was expecting. The thin tender fortune cookie is filled with slightly lemon laced cream. It’s richer than frosting but taste exactly like a lemon laced frosting from a bakery. The baked goodie on the bottom taste buttery and the Lucky Me fortune is white chocolate.
The next day we tried a pain au chocolat.
They look amazing but maybe I was unlucky and the one we got had very little chocolate in it. My half didn’t have any. My husband dug out a small piece for me to try. It was very good. Obviously high quality chocolate but ours had very little in it. The croissant also doesn’t have many layers in it. The croissant part looks amazing but wasn’t nearly as many layers or that from French butter taste as the croissant from L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon.
I had to try a cronut. I didn’t know that it was filled with mocha cream. Mocha is my least favorite flavor so it wasn’t for me.

Hi, thanks for the honest review. I hate mocha too! Wondering what the line was like. Crazy long? Hoping they have the famous DKA. I am a semi professional baker and DA is an idol of mine!
Hi Chef! Yes we were packed into that small area like sardines. Most people had no idea on what to try and were just standing there so I really didn’t wait too long to be served. Did you ever get to try anything by Jean Philippe Maury? He used to have Patisserie shops in the Aria and Bellagio. To this day I have never tasted any patisserie as detailed and as delicious as what I tried from his places. I was hoping that DA would fill that void. I know that he is one of the best pastry chefs in the world. I just didn’t pick what was magic for me yet. I will try DA again when I visit Las Vegas again. Good luck with your baking. Maybe one day I’ll come across your works!
